What do we mean by "student debt cancellation?"

Wondering where Biden actually gets the authority to cancel student debt?

Follow along in this thread as we breakdown how @JoeBiden can cancel ALL student loan debt through executive action! #CancelStudentDebt We are demanding @JoeBiden cancel ALL student loan debt.

Want to learn more about @JoeBiden's pick for Director of National Intelligence, Avril Haines, and why it's necessary that we push Congress to reject her nomination?

Follow along in the thread below:
#RejectHaines Image First, she is the architect of drone warfare and the legal framework behind it. The guidelines for drone strikes allow for lethal action against those who are not "high value targets," without explaining the criteria the CIA would use to identify someone as an imminent threat ImageImageImageImage
